I was in Melbourne for Game Connect Asia Pacific (GCAP) 09, and I found this busker standing outside Flinders Street Station in Melbourne. He was playing the hit 90's track "What Is Love" on bass guitar, Pianica, with the assistance of a loop pedal. What is remarkable (evidently) is that he did the entire thing wearing a chicken suit. The real action in this video starts at around 1:20, when he gets DOWN with the improv action on the Pianica. Enjoy.

I thought Richard Cohen was hilarious when he was on CNN cuddling with other men and beating a pillow with a tennis racket while screaming "MOTHER!" but now that he has provided ammunition to Uganda and their fun new "Kill All The Gays" program he's a lot less funny.

"Greed and Fear". Based on the two emotions which battle for the heart (?) of Wall Street, Harry Shearer has concocted nine hummable, even danceable, musical tributes to the strange language and stranger behavior that have made Credit Crunch such a tasty breakfast treat...or a great abdominal exercise.
